There were way too many pages for me too read to find this and the search wasn't being too friendly but can anyone recommend me a starting point to try and get a whitechapel-ish tone? I've been messing around with a bunch of the amps and combining them and have got a lot of good tones, however I still can't get that sound I'm going for. any help would be awesome.

Hey guys. Im looking at a poweramp for my Pod HD Pro. Im currently running it through the power section of my amp. I use no cab for the sound, since my mesa cab and amp colours the sound nicely =)
The only problem is a logistical one. I wanna go full rack, instead of having to drag the head along with the rack.

Which poweramps are GOOD for their price. I prefer tubes btw.
If i had all the money in the world, then i would go for a engl 100/100. But i dont :(

Cheap: Peavey Classic (60/60 for 6L6, 50/50 for EL84)
Expensive-ish: Marshall MonoBloc
Higher-end: Mesa power amps, VHT/Fryette 2/50/2 and 2/90/2

Seriously. You should try both tube and solid state power amps if you can.

When I had my Axe FX I tried everything I could, including tube amp head FX loop returns.
There's minimal difference between tube and SS with these newer modelers.

Per the usual, JazzHands is right on the money with his recommendations.

Rocktron Velocity 300 is really good and dirt cheap but it is solid state. With something like a POD though getting a tube power amp is probably best, especially if you want a bit more warmth in your tone and aren't getting it from other methods. Peavey Classic's are rad too, like Jazz said.

I would also consider the Carvin TS-100. It is suppose to be very neutral and not color much.

The Marshall 9005 I have goes for $400 all day (what I paid). Pretty good power, but 4 rack spaces.

I never really understood that point of making a tube amp that doesn't color.
People use tube amps BECAUSE they color & sweeten the tone. Just seems like tube weight & maintenance with none of the tube benefits.

For me, I really dig the Carvin DCM amps. Transparent, very powerful, lightweight & extremely reliable.

.

That sounds like a tube amp someone would own just for the sake of saying they own a tube amp. :lol:
